Just ordered a Lenovo TS130. I think there are some issues
with the
Intel graphics with 6.0 and I saw where they are resolved in 6.1. Hopefully 6.1 can be released soon. If not, I can install
Scientific Linux temporarily.
Fingers crossed!!
Or, just grab the intel xorg driver rpm from SL, and
libdrm, and one
other package, the nouveau rpm. It doesn't make sense to
go all the
way over to SL if you plan on coming straight back.
I simply installed CentOS 6.0, downloaded kernel from SL6.1 repo, and installed it. Basically this is what was needed to make Intel graphics work, I think there were 1-2 other rpms I needed to upgrade too to fix dependencies, but this was easy to notice during the kernel install.
This way the system automatically will roll back to pure CentOS when newer CentOS 6.1 rpms will be available.
Thanks!!
Installed the SL kernel and firmware packages. WOW!! That made a huge difference.
Thanks!!
